NTRODUCTION
Ensuring the implementation of the tasks set out
in the "Uzbekistan - 2030" strategy, the current
year's state program, and the statement on the
expanded meeting of the Republican Council for
Spirituality and Enlightenment held under the
chairmanship of our President, as well as the
formation of civic virtues, increasing social
activity, and raising spirituality among young
people, is considered urgent.
Young people have always been and remain the
most active and dynamic social and age group,
realizing themselves in all spheres of society:
political, social, cultural, economic. Considering
that young people are the bearers of social
innovations, increasing their social activity is
becoming very relevant in the modern conditions
of society development. In scientific literature,
the social activity of young people was considered

mainly either as political activity (participation in
elections, membership in public associations,
etc.), or as cultural activity (membership in
informal
youth
movements,
subcultural
communities, etc.). In recent years, in connection
with the development of volunteerism, the
number of works studying this phenomenon has
increased, analyzing the motivation for youth
participation in the volunteer movement, the
principles and forms of organizing youth service
[1]. In the works of D. B. Elkonin, O. Musurmonov,
D. Davronov, N. Egamberdiev and others, social
activity is defined as "the level of activity, the
degree of manifestation of the capabilities and
abilities of a person as a member of society, a
stable active attitude of an individual to
individual communities or society as a whole and
reflects the transformation of an individual from
an object into a subject of social relations." From
the point of view of sociology, the social activity of
an individual is understood as "a systemic social
quality in which the level of its sociality is
expressed and realized, i.e. the depth and
completeness of the individual's connections with
society, the level of transformation of an
individual into a subject of social relations" [2].
The Japanese scientist S. Khakamada pointed out
that "social activity is also conditioned by the
individual
psychological
characteristics
(character, temperament) of people" [3]. That is,
the activity of an individual in itself depends, first
of all, on its structural features: not all people can
show the same activity, including social activity.
At present, the traditional concept of social
activity includes such more specific concepts as
"social and political activity", "labor activity",
"cognitive activity", "activity in the sphere of
culture", etc. By social activity of youth we mean
the desire of young people to realize their
potential, to influence the adoption of socially
significant decisions in society. Social activity of a
subject can be manifested in such forms as
membership in party or public organizations,
participation
in
election
campaigns,
demonstrations, rallies, political discussions,
organization of similar events, etc.
Despite the relevance of the problem, difficulties
of an informational nature arise when studying
the social activity of young people. It should be
noted that most data on the political and social life
of young people are of a hypothetical rather than
a conclusive nature, since most of the information
is taken from the results of sociological surveys.
Official statistics in this area are practically
absent, and the relevant statistical data on
participation in elections are either not collected
or are unavailable for reasons of confidentiality.
The concept of social activity reflects the nature
of the functioning of individuals and social groups
in society. Social activity is associated with the
transformation of interest into a factor of action,
with cognition, goal-setting and transformation of
reality, is conditioned by the active nature of man,
the contradiction between the conditions of
existence and the objective needs of the
individual and is aimed at eliminating the
discrepancy between the needs and conditions of
existence of the subject.

Social activity is the most important condition for
the
intensification
of
production,
the
development of scientific and technological
progress, the improvement of social relations and
the person himself. The growth of social activity
of workers presupposes the development,
support and encouragement of the best human
traits and qualities. Social activity of an individual
is closely connected with the internal motivation
of an individual's behavior, his aspirations, needs
and interests.
Understanding social activity as a set of forms of
human activity consciously oriented towards
solving the problems facing society, class, social
group in a given historical period, we highlight
society, local community as the most important
factor of influence. As researchers note, social
activity, on the one hand, is considered in the
context of protest sentiments and social
instability, while young people have always acted
as a social group whose excessive activity should
be curbed and taken under special control. On the
other hand, young people ensure the
transmission of social relations and act as a
bearer of social innovations, therefore, increasing
the social activity of young people during a crisis
becomes one of the conditions for searching for
new forms of social structure.
Social activity of an individual presupposes not a
conformist, but a critical attitude to reality,
meaning a constant need to independently
comprehend what is happening in the country
and the world, the desire to make life better. One
of the important mechanisms for the formation of
social activity of young people are actions. Young
people want to solve social problems in a new,
interesting way. It is important to interest a young
person and direct him to useful activity. Having
analyzed the experience of holding city actions
among young people, we can highlight the
following directions of actions: political, sports,
environmental,
charitable,
volunteer.
Researchers highlight the following mechanism
for forming social activity of young people during
actions: - involvement in solving a certain
problem that is relevant for a young citizen and
society as a whole; - personal interest of a person
(close to the idea of organization); - conviction
that everyone should help their country; -
assigning a person the task and the role that he
would like to do (management, control, public
speaking); - control over execution as a
mandatory condition, even if you are confident in
the person who performs a particular action.
Young people are attracted by the opportunity in
the activities of various youth groups to influence
the world around them and people, to express
their individuality. An obligatory component of
active behavior is goal setting, when a clear and
distinct goal in itself is a powerful incentive to act,
while the sphere of activity does not matter,
therefore it is not legitimate to talk about the
passivity of modern youth, rather it is necessary
to look for new forms of youth culture.
Technologies for increasing the social activity of
young people are based on the creation of a
special creative environment, the creation of
space for youth initiative. It is the presence of
one's own space that becomes a factor of social
activity when a young person is given the
opportunity to act as a creator, a creator, when

the environment created by one's own efforts is
perceived as "one's own".
Another important element of the system for
increasing social activity is the involvement of
young people in direct, targeted, socially useful
activities, during which they can see a positive
result of their actions. This is achieved, first of all,
by joining the activities of the initiators and
involving them in the activities already ongoing.
Strategy of the state youth policy aimed at
increasing the social activity of young people.
The tasks solved within the framework of this
project include:
dissemination of effective models and forms of
youth participation in the management of public
life;
development of models and programs for training
youth leaders; involving young people in
participation in public and socio-political life,
involving young people in the activities of self-
government bodies in various spheres of society;
involving young people in work in executive and
representative bodies of power;
involving young people in participation in project,
management, research activities;
popularization of ideas of youth participation in
public and socio-political life; involving young
people in participation in elections of legislative
bodies of power; support of youth public
organizations and associations; inclusion of
young people in international projects for
training leaders of youth public associations and
the work of international youth bodies.
Meanwhile, the implementation of the Strategy
gives reason to doubt the effectiveness of the
events. First of all, this is due to the fact that the
organizers do not offer truly new, exciting and
creative forms of implementing their initiatives. It
is also important that the authors of the program
again appeal to individual activity, rather than
stimulating group action and the subjectivity of
youth groups creating new identities.
The activities of youth structures under
legislative and executive authorities are usually
decorative in nature, representing a "sandbox"
model in which young people are allowed to play,
without allowing them to discuss and solve really
important problems of the city or region. The
media could play an important role here.
The majority of young people in our country are
confident that they are not able to influence
public policy, doubt the possibility of changing it
for the benefit of themselves and their generation.
At the same time, they express their readiness to
participate in socially significant activities,
support the need for youth associations. This
potential of youth can and should be used in the
interests of the development of the whole society
and the youth themselves, for the benefit of our
country.
It is clear from the above that in the process of
modernization of our society, increasing the
activity of our youth in developing and
implementing new innovative ideas is a complex
problem in our real life. In particular, the growing

economic needs, the intensification of efforts to
satisfy them, the increasing efforts to make young
people self-reliant through the economy in a
number of countries, and the increasing need to
strengthen their innovative activity today
highlight the need to strengthen their innovative
activity.
Scientifically
based
proposals
and
recommendations: Thus, the modernization of
society is a complex process, and the important
factors for increasing the activity of the youth
group, which is one of the main subjects in it,
include:
1) developing intellectual potential at the level of
rapidly changing modern requirements;
2) organizing the effective functioning of the
mechanisms of socialization processes,
3) materially providing innovative ideas and
achieving their implementation in practice.
First of all, for this, the material base must be
strong.
Also, if the state supports the spirit of young
people to develop and implement innovative
ideas and their aspirations, it will yield the
expected results.
As we promote ideas about developing the
activity of young people, we come to the
conclusion that turning them into a leading force
in the development and implementation of
socially innovative ideas in their minds and
thoughts is a factor in the development of the
country.
